Party like it’s 1999 with an old-school Smashing Pumpkins lineup at Erwin Center

Billy Corgan will bring a Smashing Pumpkins tour to the Erwin Center on July 16. Ashley Landis for American-Statesman 2013

It’s not quite a full reunion, but the Smashing Pumpkins lineup that will play the Erwin Center on July 16 will be the closest approximation to the one that recorded the band’s biggest hits in the 1990s.

The Austin date will be the third of 36 shows the band has booked from July 12 to Sept. 7. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 23, via the Erwin Center’s box-office website. Ticket prices have not yet been announced.

Joining frontman Billy Corgan for the band’s summer tour is co-founding guitarist James Iha, who played on multi-platinum-selling albums such as “Siamese Dream” and “Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” but last toured with the group in 2000. Classic-era drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, who has toured occasionally with Corgan in a Pumpkins lineup that also included recent recruit Jeff Schroeder, also is aboard, as is Schroeder.
